Due to Mell not exactly knowing fully how to wolf yet, I imagine she spends a bit of time under Mars's care. She'd probably be grumbly about it at first, but by now, it's probably a joke, at least to her. (Also, cool friction' house for her!)
James sounds so lovely! I'm working on a friends line with Julia, so there's no way they wouldn't have run into each other or will sometime in the future.
